Ematic™ Bar Lubrication System

The Ematic™ Bar Lubrication System ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC^® saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication.

Two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the chain drive links. The oil is picked up by the passing chain and carried around the guide bar rails. The Ematic™ system can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING: The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chain saws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop^® chain brake, STIHL secondary chain braking system, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.

STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chain saws.
